IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 205,388, dated June 25,1878; application filed April 3, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIS HowLAND, of Almont, in the county of Lapeer and State of of Michigan, have invented an Improvement in Ghurns, of which the following is a specification:

The object of the invention is to provide simple means for holding the churn upon the frame of the operating mechanism, and to al low the same to be conveniently and quickly removed therefrom; and it consists in securing two guides transversely across the baseframe and attaching the churn rigidly to a base-board which slides under and between said guides.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved churn ready for operation. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the dasher withdrawn from To the crank-shaft G is properly secured one end of a connecting-rod, H, the upper end of which is pivoted to one end of the lever I. This leverI is sleeved to the girder .Iof the frame B, and has pivoted to its short end a connecting-roch K, to the lower end of which is pivoted the dashrod 0.

On the forward-projecting end of the baseframe A I secure two guides, L, as shown, a sufficient distance apart to receive the sliding base-board M, to which is rigidly secured the churn N, which is provided with the usual cover P, through which the dash-rod plays.

It is not necessary to detach the daslrrod from the working parts of the device in order to remove it from the churn, as it can easily be withdrawn and swung back out of the way. The churn, being held in place by its base and guides, prevents its jumping around during the operation of churning, while, at the same time, it can readily be removed for the purposes of cleansing, &c.

The operation of this device is so simple and so generally understood that a further description thereof is deemed unnecessary.

What I claim as my invention is- The means for removably attaching the churn to the base of the frame carrying the operating mechanism and rigidly holding it when mounted thereon, consistin gin theguides L, secured transversely across the extended portion of the base-frame A, and the baseboard M, adapted to slide under said guides, and having the churn rigidly attached thereto, substantially as described and shown.
